Junebug - that's what I'm saying...the above pics were taken AFTER the 3 lb Christmas gain, and I'm not sure I mind them given what they did to my face...made it look a little less...pulled. Or maybe it's just time adjusting my skin. Who knows? Thank you!

Awesome! You look so beautiful and healthy! You've inspired me -- true, I only started a little over a week ago, but I forgot to take a "before" picture (and DH says my face already looks thinner) -- so I rooted through recent pics friends had sent me and found a "good" one (well, good for the "before" status), and now it's waiting on my PC desktop for that fabulous day I get to post my "after!" It's also a good current reminder of why I am staying OP each day -- I don't want to go back to looking as I do in that pic!

your pics are truly amazing. May I ask what all worked for you. I just started taking leptopril again. I took it in 2006 for 12 weeks and lost 51 pounds but then my husband decided I should go off of it because we wanted another baby. Well I had a baby on november 12th and now I am fighting the weight. I am trying to lose about 65 to 70 pounds somewhere around there to get back to my ideal weight. Any advice you can give me would sure help
